Any suggestions on using apple TV to display signage in a building

We have several old flat screens we would like to repurpose in the building for signage. Any suggestions on how we can use apple tv to deliver this content? software requirements?

The simplest method would be to use the screensaver. Initially you would need to use your computer to create a small photo album with the slides in and share them using homesharing to the Apple TV. The Apple TV is able to hold a small number of photographs in memory and so once you have set this up you don't really need your computer again unless you need to update the slides.
Selecting a classic slideshow from the screensaver options, will give you access to both simple transitions and the ability to change the slide duration.

Can I use Apple TV to play iTunes from my iMac on my home stereo?

How does Itunes from my Imac connect to my home stereo using Apple TV?

Greetings;
When you launch the iTunes Application, down in the lower right hand corner, you see an icon and "Speakers". Select the Apple TV device and iTunes will then use the Apple TV as an external speaker.
You can also access your iTunes music and movies from the Apple TV menu. With your iTunes Application open on your computer, select "Computers" from the Apple TV Menu.
You'll also need to turn ON "Home Sharing" in the iTunes Application. You can find that setting in the "Advanced" menu option in iTunes.
Hope this helps! All the best...and Merry Christmas!

Using Apple TV as display for MacBook

Is there any way for me to use my Apple TV to display what I see on my macBook wirelessly to my flat screen TV? I have a 1TB Time Capsule as well if that helps.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
No way as far as I'm aware I'm afraid.

Using Apple's Preview displays a sharper picture

I'm not sure where to post this topic because it really concerns Photoshop Elements 3.0, but hear goes.
I normally use iPhoto 6.0 to organize my photos and have Elements 3.0 set as the default editing tool. In the past this has worked great, but during the past few months I have noticed that my pictures on screen don't look as sharp in Elements as they once used to. The final output to paper or DVD still looked great, so I never gave it much thought at least until this past weekend.
That's when I opened a new picture accidentally using Apple's Preview program. Wow, was I surprised because the picture just downloaded from my camera looked fantastic. It was sharp, bright and had great detail. I then opened it using Photoshop Elements 3.0 and was quite disappointed with the results. The picture had slightly less detail and was not as sharp and the colors were not as saturated.
When I first bought Elements 3.0, I was using Panther and I remember my pictures looking great. The only thing I changed between then and now was upgrading to Tiger in early summer. After upgrading to Tiger I reinstalled all my third party software from the original disks.
So why do my pictures look poorer in Elements when compared to Apple's Preview? Could I have changed something or do I need to make a change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

What was the answer Keith? I'd be interested to know.

Using Apple TV to display my desk top on my laptop

I had hoped I could use my flat screen tv as my computer screen for presentations I would normally do I my laptop. I thought Apple TV would allow me to do this but I don't see anything in the menu that might allow it. Does anyone have any thoughts how to do this? I have tried cables but have not had much success.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Unfortunately you cannot use the tv to display your mac/pc desktop on your tv, nor can you use keynote or powerpoint presentations in their native format, you could however export them to a movie file using an appropriate compression for the tv.

Airport Express Problems when using Apple 27 " cinema display with Macbook

I have recently got an apple cinema 27" display and when I connect it to my macbook and wake the computer up I cannot connect to the airport network. I can connect to wlan-ap, whatever that is, but my wifi barely sees my network. When I re-awaken the computer in normal mode, without he cinema display, the network can be connected to easily. Also, when I run the airport utility while using the cinema screen, you cannot see the airport express, but without the screen, you can.
This is a weird wifi problem,=.
Any help is appreciated.

Could not use apple acct to download anything from the App Store

Could not use my apple ID to download anything from the app. Store, why? Please don't make me regret buying iPad 4, been saving for this for a long time and for what? ✋

I thought I was trying to help you. Please be aware that most replies you receive here are from fellow users like me, and most of us don't spend all our day on these forums and hence may not reply immediately. So patience is going to be helpful.
Have you tried resetting the iPad? For instructions see:

That may fix the problem.

HT1918 Can we use apple I'd to purchase from different country iTunes Store

Hello apple friends

You can only purchase from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it.
If there are items that you'd like to buy which aren't currently in your country's store then you could try requesting that they be added, but ultimately it's the content provider (app developer, record company, film studio etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Apple 23" Cinema Display not supported by Windows Media Center Edition PC

Well I'm learning the hard way and of course that is through experience. I just found out after purchasing my 23"Apple Display and talking to the Apple Support Tech is that Apple does not support the Cinema Display with PC's,
Wish Apple would be more transparent on this issue prior to a costly purchase. For example on the Apple site listing the Display in system requirements:
Windows PC and graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single-link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup
Well I have a Windows PC with a Nvidia Graphics card just as the system requirements state. Yet my PC will not adjust to proper resolution for the Apple Display. The graphics card works fine. Its a driver issue where the Apple Display is not compatible with Window Media Center Edition on Windows PC's
So in conclusion the system requirements for Windows PC's that Apple is stating For Apple Cinema Displays is not correct. The system requirements need also to state that the Apple Cinema Display does not work with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE)
Hope that helps for any users with Windows Media Center Edition thinking or already have purchased an Apple Cinema Display.

Well,
Here is the latest from Nvidia Customer Care educating users on the DVI port on the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200:
"...The basic difference you will see in these ports are in their Physical appearance. The DVI-D has less pins compared to the DVI-I port connector. Also the Apple 23" Cinema Display will work at a resolution of 1920*1200. But this graphics card that is Geforce FX 5200 will not support this resolution of 1920*1200. It will support only till 1600*1200. So that's the reason you were having the issues were you were not able to adjust the resolution"
So I ask, which Nvidia GPU card can I substitute for the current one at a reasonable price? I don't need dual link, so single link would be sufficient for my application . Here is some more helpful tips from Nvidia support. Hope this helps other users, utilizing the Apple 23" Cinema Display"
"...go for a Geforce 7600 GS graphics card which is a AGP 8x compatible graphics card. This graphics card is just 129$ graphics card. Please visit the given link to know about the details of this graphics card."
http://bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html
And now for the final conclusion of what you need to know regarding DVI ports. Evidently Nvidia uses a term called normal DVI port. I've never heard of that term in the literature in shopping for a graphics card and checking the specs. I guess you need to look for the specific term single or dual link specifically. If it doesn't say that, then what I can gather it is a normal DVI port...whatever the heck that is?
"...Yes let me inform you that the Geforce FX 5200 graphics card does have one DVI port and one VGA port. But these single link and Dual link DVI port is totally different compared to the normal DVI ports. As you wanted to connect an Apple 23" Cinema Display to this graphics card. So for this you will need to have a graphics card which will have a Single link or Dual link DVI ports not the normal ports. So to support an Apple 23" Cinema Display, you will need to have either a Geforce 6 series or the Geforce 7 series graphics card. That's the reason I gave you the list of graphics card which comes with Single or Dual link DVI ports, not the normal ports."
Oh well off to the market to pick up either a Series 6 or Series 7 Nvidia Graphics card. The Nvidia Customer Care team was very helpful and replied to my inquires very quickly through email.
Hope this long drawn out expose helps others who might have issue with connecting their proud Apple 23' Cinema Display to their PC
Kind Regards,
John

Have a 1st generation Apple TV, which is not showing as a device in iTunes. Had no problems with Apple TV until I changed from a Windows PC to an iMac. I have changed my IP address, sub mask address and router address in the Apple TV, Can anyone help?

I have a 1st generation apple TV, which was working perfectly until I changed from a Windows PC to a Imac. The Apple TV will not show in Itunes. I have changed the IP address, sub mask and Router IP address. Since changing I have switched everything of and on again. Can anyone help?

I have a new router and computer. I have just remembered that just before my old PC died on me, I transferred my iTunes library to a hard drive. I can't remember exactly just how I got my library back, but there are definately things in my library now that were in my library on my old PC! Hope this makes sense. What do you mean by same location? Do you mean in the same place in the house?
Another difference I have just thought of was my old router was connected directly to the computer bu I have not been able to do this with Sky as my PC is not near a phone socket! Will this make a difference?

Need to create a PDF Portfolio programatically using the Adobe SDK in C# from a Windows Service.

What classes/methods should I be using?
We need to create a PDF portolio from a windows service written in C#.
We need to merge several PDF documents into a single PDF portfolio from our windows service (programatically).
I have seen documentation in the Adobe help on how to do it using the Adobe UI, but we need to do this step programatically from our windows servie.
Thanks!

You can't access Acrobat from a service - since we won't run in Service mode...only in standard Application mode. In addition, we don't run on a server.
But if you were doing this from a standard application - then you'll want to read the JavaScript documentation in the SDK as well as the documents about the .NET/JS bridge.

Flash media (youtube, video, etc) won't play when using Apple TV Airplay Display

I have a new Apple Tv. I have connected it to my tv and am using the tv as a second display from my iMac. The display works just fine, but if I try and play any flash based media, say a Youtube video, on my iMac while Airplay is on, it won't play.
Mind you, it isn't that I am not getting audio, it just won't play the video at all. I can even see the progress bar load fully, but it doesn't begin playing.
The second I turn Airplay off, the video will play.
This also happens with sites such as Soundcloud, and Tumblr audio posts.
Any ideas?

I connect to Airplay Display, I select apple tv, and either mirror display or extended desktop. Doesn't matter which, both have the problem.
Then, on my imac I try to play a video and it does not work. I can even hit play on a video, let it go, and THEN turn on Airplay and it will stop playing as soon as I do.
